I liked your story, because the way you tell it I know that you appreciate just being there. The animal was an awesome bonus, but I'm betting it's just part of the memory. The venison will be gone in a few months. The memories will be always there.

Manny, congratulations on an excellent hunt and a good story too.  Serge is quite the guide and a wealth of knowledge too.  It's no surprise he would put you onto a good looking deer like that.

Congratulations again!!!!

Congrats!
Would you mind describing your bow, it caught my eye and I'm curious.

Thanks All!

Like Jim said, I am so lucky to have a great friend and a hunting partner with Serge! I'm learning every single outing, his wealth of knoledge is unbelievable!

And an awesome archer too!

The bow is a mild reflex deflex Mississippi lake longbows, 56#@27 64"

Jeff and David, thank you!
